Hello, my name is Spencer! I am currently a Ph.D. student at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

Previously, I spent time as a visiting researcher at Stony Brook University (advised by Ting Wang) and Tsinghua University (supervised by Zhiyuan Liu). I also had the opportunity to work with Junfeng Yang and Asaf Cidon while earning my Master’s.

I received my Bachelor’s degrees from UC Berkeley and have an M.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University.
